Just found out that my previous MJW#017 was a repost (it was a Rapport Forte for those who didn't know)
Anyway, here is a replacement
Name and model and approximate year for one point
Time for the expertise of the experts......
Imp-based?
Yes!
Based on a shortened Imp floorpan.
Only two were built (prototypes)
It has a specific name.
Locked for you for 24 hours.
This is the Gillie, a Rootes Group-commissioned prototype for a Mini Moke-type vehicle equipped for off-road use.
It was actually developed by Tilling Stevens in Kent.
It dates from 1970, and apparently only 1 was built.
It was whisked off to Lord Rootes's estate after first being demonstrated to the Rootes brothers - never to be seen again by its developers!
It showed up on ebay in 2006 so still exists somewhere.
Yes!
Well done. I have great pleasure in awarding you your 100th. point
The article I read mentioned two prototypes were built but that may have been wrong.
This supposedly is what Gillie looks like today. I had it in stock for future posting ;)
Apologies for pre-empting your future puzzle Guido.
Interesting to see what it looks like now - a shame it has been altered so much from the original.
It would have been a hard one to solve I think.
